James "Jimmy" David Cote , born October 24, 1958, passed away Sunday morning June 7, 2009 at his home in Willimantic, due to complications from cancer. Jimmy was born in Stafford Springs, CT and resided most of his life in Willimantic. He spent his life working as a handyman, helping and contributing his time to doing things for many people.
